Working with Shaft Extension
(special accessory)
Do not fit the shaft extension until the full
length of the auger is in the hole.
Starting a hole with the shaft
extension fitted increases the risk of
personal injury because the unit is
then at chest height and cannot be
kept properly under control.
For the same reason the shaft
extension must be removed before
the auger is pulled out of the hole.
